Education 3.0Why should
Africa care?By Derek Keatshttp://www.dkeats.com

Africa is the world's second-
largest and second most-
populous continent, after Asia

Africa has 14.2% of the world's
human population

In 2006 the World had 6
billion people

In 2050 the World will have 9.1 billion people

Out of every 100 persons added
to the population in the coming decade, 97 will live in developing countries

In 2006 Africa had just under 1 billion people

In 2050 Africa will have just under 2 billion people

From 2006-2050 the population
of Europe will decrease by 9%

From 2006-2050 the population
of Africa will increase by 113%

Food production in Africa is
decreasing

Water availability will decrease
by 50% in the areas of the world
with the highest population
increase

In some African states half or
more of the population is under
25 years old

Population is increasing in Africa
in areas where it is most difficult
to produce food

Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region of the world where poverty has increased over the past 25 years

61% of spending on higher education occurs within North America and Western Europe

4.5% of spending on higher education occurs in Africa,
about a third of it in South Africa

12% of the world's population
enter tertiary education

32% of North Americans enter tertiary education

2.4% of Africans enter tertiary education

Most of those are in North Africa and South Africa

Finland has 3.6 times the world average enrollment in higher education

A child born in Finland has 140 times the chance of getting a tertiary education compared to
a child born in Mozambique

The world produces 103
scientific research papers per million people

The USA produces 690 and Canada 723 scientific research papers per million people

Africa produces 8.2 scientific research papers per million people

In the USA, investment in higher
education is 2.9% of GDP

In the Britain, investment in
higher education is 1.1% of GDP

South Africa has the best higher
education system in Africa

In the South Africa, investment in higher education is about
0.025% of GDP

There are more actively researching computer science professors in a large American university than there are in Sub-Saharan Africa

There are more actively researching discipline X professors in a large American university than there are in Sub-Saharan Africa

We lack the critical mass in Africa to find knowledge-basedsolutions to the challenges facing us as a continent

Collaboration is the only way
for us to achieve the critical
mass we need to overcome thechallenges we face

Education 3.0: breaking down
barriers and building virtual
critical mass in higher education

Structural collaboration costs a lot of money without adding proportional value

Don't make structures for
collaboration; rather lower the barriers to getting higher education institutions and the people in themto collaborate

Promote the collaborative peer-production of learning content that is freely licensed by professors and students

Learning can be formal, informal,or a mixture of both

Create opportunities for
personal learningSet own learning goalsGlobal infrastructureManage own learningContentAutogogy

Communication

People network

Recognize learning that takes
place in informal settings and
in other institutionsRecognition
of learning
achieved

YOU can start now!Education 3.0Just learn it!
